It was my first time going to a Bator Bro event. I decided to attend the zine presentation the day before the party. It was the best decision I could have made, it was the perfect warm up. We all briefly introduced ourselves and started sharing our experiences, kinks and desires. I declared that I was open to trying things I hadn’t experienced before.
As the conversation went on, Joel (DoubleA) shared his love for ball stretching. I immediately thought “this is something new”, but I had never enjoyed anyone working my balls. I prevented people from even touching them or licking them. I shared my thoughts, confessing how nervous I felt about it and how I wouldn’t prefer it as a practice.
Joel asked if I had experienced it from a person who knows how to play with them. After I said ‘No’ he suggested I should try it with him. He assured me that I would enjoy it a lot. Reluctantly, yet still open to new experiences, I agreed to give it a try.
He spotted me the next day at the social before the party, reminding me that I would have my balls stretched later that day. I was nervous and excited. I started mentioning it to other bros to make it sound less scary in my head.
At the event, I had a blast from the beginning. I was taking frequent breaks in order to pace myself. In one of them, Joel noticed me and called me over, saying that it was time for me to feel what ball stretching is. We sat on the grass on Green Fields and he started touching me.
Having such a sexy and confident guy touching me felt pretty intimidating. I tried to get over my insecurities about how my body looked and where my hands should be. His fingers explored my ball sack to find both balls, then held them gently. His soft touch immediately relaxed me, I completely trusted him. He reached for the base of the sack and started pulling them slightly down with circular movements while teasing them with his fingertips. I got super hard by then. I tried to reach for his cock but the feeling of pleasure and relaxation didn’t allow me to do much. I laid back and kept enjoying it.
I thought ballplay might also help with my varicocele, and I was right. While he pulled my balls down, I could feel the area decompressing, giving me a unique sensation of relaxation. Although it was a short session, it changed my perception towards ball stretching. It has been part of my self-satisfaction / relaxation ritual ever since.
I went from being negative about anything ball related to loving the feeling of stretching them and making it a favorite practice. Reflecting on it, I realise that it was never the fact that I don’t like my balls touched. It was all about how and who would touch and play with them. I am glad that Joel was the one who introduced me to this and showed me how to love it.
Thanos attended our Bator Sex Issue 3 zine launch event in February 2025. While I was discussing my love for ball play he seemed quite averse. I told him I’d teach him how to do it the next day. The exchange got cut off in editing but you can hear a bit of it on the Bator Bro Radio Zine Launch episode at the 1:08:15 mark.
He really enjoyed ballplay the next day. When working on the Ballstretching piece for this fourth issue I thought about asking him to write about the experience and he delivered in spades. I’m very grateful to him for sharing it. I’m hoping this story might make those on the fence more open minded to experiencing ball pleasure themselves.
